Muhlenbergia capillaris, commonly known as pink muhly grass, is a light, airy and beautiful warm-season perennial bunchgrass native to the eastern and southern United States. Valued for its ornamental appeal, this low-maintenance grass forms fine-textured, arching clumps of slender green foliage that give rise to a dazzling display of airy, pink to purplish-pink flower plumes in late summer through fall. These feathery inflorescences appear to float above the foliage, creating a soft, cloud-like effect that adds vivid color and movement to landscapes. Pink muhly grass typically grows 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, thriving in well-drained soils and full sun, though it tolerates partial shade and poor soils, including sandy or rocky conditions. Drought-tolerant once established, it is an excellent choice for xeriscaping, erosion control, and naturalistic plantings. It is also prized in urban and coastal environments for its salt tolerance and resilience to pests and diseases. Muhlenbergia capillaris serves ecological roles as well, providing cover and food for wildlife while supporting pollinators. Its beauty, adaptability, and ecological benefits make it a favorite for gardeners and landscape designers seeking to introduce year-round interest with minimal care.
